How: you draw your favorite Dragon

What kind of Dragon would like to draw?

The first thing to determine is the type of the desired Dragon. There are many dragons to choose - European Dragon, Eastern dragons, animated Dragon, Dragon cartoon, digital improved Dragon, Western dragons, etc.. This is important because it helps to select, plan what materials are best to use, the mix of colors, that you exercise, the environment and settings and other important details. It will also help you add in additional information if you have your work and the compensation that a lot.

Find some photos use as models

This step is especially helpful for people with not much background or experience in the drawing. Photos, images, or other visual representations of the Dragon help you with the basic parts and aspects of the drawing. If you remember a flying dragon, which then breathes fire, might that you could look for images with flying dragons and another photo with fire-breathing dragon. You can use the 2 photos side by side a clearer picture of a flying, fire-breathing dragon.

Make a rough sketch of the backdrop

If you flying, will present your fire-breathing dragon in a number of large mountains bend could start with a slight sketch the mountains. Or if your Dragon a sea or ocean you glide is water might have to first a breakdown on the sea blue and put some clouds on the back. You start to use your imagination at this point.

Start the drawing parts

I know people who enjoy starting with the wings; others like to start with the body. For beginners I suggest starting with the head. Thus you have a more accurate approximation of how much space you need for each part. Also, since you, what kind of Dragon / s the desired adjustments due to the missed part you know are easily avoided.

Set the details

Now that the dragon parts are all set and in place, you can add more details. Examples are the scales on the body, more detailed wings and the claws are clear. You can also some parts like the mouth sound; It seems that your kite is too friendly, unless of course make a cartoon Dragon. Details of the fire, those who breathes it, can be set at this point.

Adding the finishing touches

This step is not required unless you have other information that you add or modify or perhaps forget small elements of the Dragon. You can check also your drawing for inconsistencies and other inaccurate information.
